    Randi my thoughts are with you and Fister. Such a difficult time ... lots of love to both of you - please give that beautiful boy a hug for me too.

    Pain meds

    Randi, I hope you have your boy at home now. Might I suggest that you ask the vet for a pain medication that can be compounded in to a cream and put on Fister's ear rather than an injection or a pill. It might be easier for you to calm him that way.

    You are in our thoughts.

    Hugs to you both!

    Randi, I'm not a "regular" here at PT, so I don't know you or Fister's story, but I'm in tears from reading this thread. My Fister's Creator bless you with the wisdom, the courage, the strength, and the faith that you need for whatever happens. I wonder why the vet didn't suggest an iron supplement for Fister to combat the anemia. My Althea's hematocrit was down to 5 at one point (should be between 30 and 42); we treated her with an iron supplement (Pet Tinic) and prednisolone, and it worked. The pred might not be called for in Fister's case, but the iron supplement might help quite a bit. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Precious Fister, we are praying for you and your Meowmie.

    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Sorry to hear Fister had to stay at the vet overnight.

    I hope you heard from your regular vet who would be 
    more familiar with Fisters history.

    I pray pomtzu advice about a vitamin supplement or something similar
    can be given to help him recover.

    If there is nothing that can help,
    I pray that whatever fluids and stuff they gave him will
    allow him to come back home with you and give you some quality
    time to properly prepare you and him if its time to let him go

    good thoughts and prayers being sent up for you both
